Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
KLAMATH county citizens bought $14,114,978
in E bonds in the period from 1941 through
1945.
The treasury department rates that as $378.32
per capita, although we are
not informed as to what popu
lation figure for the county
was used in the computation.
(Some pretty, weird population
Information has been put out
on Klamath county by govern
ment as well as other sources
in the last few years.)
Under the treasury ratings,
this county ranks 17th in the
state's 36 counties in per
fnnlfn hnnri nurohases. That
may come as somewhat of a EPLEY
surprise to folks who have thought Klamath
was right up at the top.
We can take neighborly pride in what our
friends in Lake county did in this rating
business. Lake people purchased $2,785,450
in bonds, for a per capita average of $508.01,
and ranked sixth in the state.
'Klamath far outshone Jackson, its neighbor
on the west, and is also up on Deschutes to
the north. Readers of this column, we believe,
will be interested in an overall table on E
bond sales, which we pick up this week from

By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 6 State Secretary
Byrnes has been more friendly to the
Soviets on the inside than in the public view.
He has been active in off-the-roeord talks with
newsmen to press the point that this govern-'
ment had nothing whatever to do with the
atom-spy case against Russia, presented by
Canada. Mr. Byrnes has claimed lie and Mr.
Truman did jiot in any way cooperate with
.e month, m m Canada, and knew nothing of w.hat was afoot,
" yer $aoo aside from a mention of the matter, months
ago, when prime Minister Mackenzie King
suggested the evidence he had then at hand
to the president. This was during the Attlee
visit to Washington last fall. The mere men
tion a few days ago that Americans might
have been involved in the investigation of
possible loss of their own secret through Can
ada, sent him into spasms of off-the-record
dismay and denial. The reporter who asked
him the question upon the basis of information
obtained from Canada, had to explain his
source apologetically.
In the world of diplomacy beyond the public
eye then, Byrnes has firmly established himself
in the position that he is a neutral as between
Bevin and Moscow. He has been urging the
press to "stop picking on Russia."
Change Coming
ABOUT a week ago, I heard rumblings from
the Byrnes sanctum that a firming of
American policy toward Russia was at hand.
Since then, he has criticized Russian tactics in
the Far East himself publicly, thus causing
newsmen to grumble that his policy now is to
let no one criticize except himself.
But personally I believe a change is coming.
Mr. Byrnes was not accomplishing anything
the way he was going. His activities were not
popular in congress where his appropriations
are being cut. He built up this winter a new
policy based largely on saying "yes" to Russia
and caused all America (indeed, the world) to
start wondering what would happen the first
time he would say "no." A world order built
on yeses' can last no longer than the first two.
As the people could plainly see, the flimsi
ness of the card-house of peace which Byrnes
had been building, some currency has been
granted rumors of war by some people one
widely circulated holds Russia will invade Tur
key and Britain will go to her assistance; an
other that communist fighting in China will
bring us to her aid.
These rumors wholly ignore the fact that
we have demobilized and the British are not
strong enough to fight anyone in the rumored
zones of the Near East and China.
If these suggestions of Russian aggression
have any soundness at all or even remote
possibilities we are not only pursuing an
ineffective foreign policy, but the wrong mili
tary policy. Pearl Harbor should have taught
us to be less sleepy or rather to be less self
centered in our own hopes, thoughts and prob
lems, to the exclusion of what the other fellow
is thinking and doing.
It Has Not Demobilized
RUSSIA has not demobilized. We do not
know much of what is going on inside
Russia herself, but our official eye has seen that
the 2,000,000 Russian troops in the occupied
zones, unlike our troops, do not wish to go
home. Apparently they like it better outside.
Also for many months, Russia has had a for
midable army on the Manchurian border or in
North China, and on the Turkish border. I
do not anticipate war. It is unthinkable that
Moscow would embark upon Hitleresque ag
gressions. Like people generally, I resolve all
doubts in favor of what I want, and do not
feel it comfortable- to expect war. Yet the
plain inner and outer facts today show me
that I must prepare or be ready for what I do
not want, these facts of today can be simply
summarized in two conclusions:
A satisfactory way of dealing with Russia
has not yet been found. Until it is found, we
can have no confidence in the peace.
Therefore, a reconsideration not only of for
eign policy, but of related military and do
mestic tactics, would seem to be a primary
order of pending government business.

OVERPA8S CONDITION
1 KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) It seems to me the
city is pretty lax in keeping the
road on the overpass across the
SP tracks on S. 6th street in de
cent shape.
There are hundreds of cars
daily passing over this overpass
and a large number of pedes
trians. There are numerous
holes pitted in the roadway that
iui with greasy water during
rainy and snowy weather. Pedes
trians crossing this overpass are
constantly having clothes splat-
terea wnn greasy, muddy water
which is almost impossible to get
out.
; About once a year the city
gives this road a half-baked
patching job and then forgets the
matter until it becomes almost
impassable again. In the mean
time, pedestrians have to try and
dodge pitholes between cars in
order to get across without hav
ing their clothes ruined.
Inasmuch as it is tint nnlv Visid
for the pedestrians but also the
cars passing over it, I would sug
gest more frequent attention be
paid to the condition of this over
pass. Yours truly,
FRANK C. MATTHEWS,
2021 Wantland Ave.
P. S. This is not just a person
al complaint. Numerous other
people have talked to me at vari
ous times wondering why some
thing was not done.

BERN, March 6 Switzer
land's fixed policy of absolute
neutrality, which has existed in
principle for
some four and
a half centur
ies, raises a
tough problem
in her rela
tions with the
United Na
tions organiza
tion, which
thus far hasn't
ann o u n c e d
any method
whereby mem
bership can be
accorded to neutrals as such,
that is, states that claim special
exemptions.
We are likely to hear a good
deal about this before long be
cause the question seems bound
to arise whether Switzerland is
to be given preferential treat
ment. The Swiss will tell you
they're anxious to cooperate
with other nations in maintain
ing peace. They hope that the
UNO will find some method
whereby at least a modified
membership can be accorded.
But they would about as soon
give up one of their beloved
Alps as their neutrality, and if
you will glance at your maps of
Europe you will begin to see
why.
Switzerland lies in the heart
of the continent and it is the
crossroads of the shortest routes
irom north to south and from
west to east. That puts this little
country of some 16.000 sonar
nuies aeciaealy on the spot,
perwiea as ii is on its mountains
among Germany, France and
Italy. Trouble among the major
powers always means grave dan
ger for invasion for Switzerland.
But that's not tho whole story.
The population of the Swiss fed
eration of 22 cantons is -drawn
chiefly from three races Ger
man, French and Italian. Ger
man is spoken by about two mil
lions, French by close to a mil
lion and Italian by the balance.
(Switzerland's population at
the 1941 census totaled 4,265,
703.) Now one can sec with half an
eye that if Switzerland had
abandoned her neutrality in a!
war involving France, Germany
or Italy, she not only would
have invited invasion but likely
would have caused heartburn
ings among her own people. In
deed, internal troubles might
have resulted. This should be
qualified by pointing out that in
the second World war the Swiss
were against nazlsm and fas
cism, but this fact doesn't alter
the general proposition.
As the Swiss put their cose,
they have full confidence in the
allied leaders who fought for the
liberty of the world. They would
gladly accept an invitation to
join the UNO if abandonment of
neutrality were not involved,
but as things now stand the
question would have to be sub
mitted to the Swiss people in a
plebiscite. The consensus here is
that the answer would be "No."

The decrease in receipts is at-
